Berzin insisted on the appointment of a commanderin-chief. This

almost impossible to buy arms openly anywhere in the world market.
The Spanish republic had deposited a considerable quantity of the
Spanish gold, reserve in Paris banks, hoping to import war materials
from France. But an insuperable difficulty developed : the French
banks refused to release the gold because Franco threatened to
file claims against them in the event of his victory. Such claims
would little disturb the distant Kremlin, once the gold was in
its possession. Stashevsky offered to take the Spanish gold to
Soviet Russia, and to supply Madrid with arms and munitions in
exchange. Through Negrin, he made the deal with Caballero's Government.
